Vaccine Safety Report 2 – 2015 Adverse Events Data & Databases

November 23, 2016 By Vaccine Choice Canada

The Vaccine Choice Canada investigations into Canada’s dual adverse events following immunizations (AEFI) databases began in the winter of 2015. The two separate databases are the Canada Vigilance (CV) database and the Canadian Adverse Events Following Immunization Surveillance System (CAEFISS). The CV database is posted on-line and is touted as searchable by the public. The CAEFISS data is accessible for public scrutiny only through reports released by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).

The first VCC database report was published in March 2015. An Update Report was published in July of 2015 as new data became available. The third report titled the Vaccine Safety Report, was published in March of 2016 following the receipt of the full CV data for Q1 2015 from MedEffectsTM Canada. This is the fourth report titled, Vaccine Safety Report 2.

We have learned that Canadians deserve far more timely, accessible, accurate and comprehensible data on vaccine-related adverse event reports. Informed consent is impossible without access to this data.
